Endopeptidases hydrolyze internal peptide bonds, breaking down large polypeptides into smaller ones and creating more terminal ends for exopeptidases to act upon.
- hydrolyse internal peptide bonds to produce smaller polypeptides - increase surface area by providing more ends - for exopeptidases to act on
